The commander-in-chief will also set the tone for his second year. He's likely to address immigration reform and a massive infrastructure investment plan, which failed to get off the ground in year one.

Trump, speaking Monday, said he'll also make a plea to Democrats to work with him on immigration, because he won't be able to do it with just Republican votes.

Several lawmakers, including Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), will skip out on the nationally televised address as a sign of protest.

Other Democrats plan to use their one guest each to pack the House gallery with so-called Dreamers — undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. at a young age.
